Nintendo Switch 2 hits South-east Asia markets ahead of schedule but leaves Malaysia on ‘pause’ for now

AI Summary

Nintendo's Switch 2 console will launch in Southeast Asia earlier than expected, on June 26, 2025, in Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. Malaysia's release date, initially slated within the same July-September 2025 window, was omitted from the recent announcement. Despite this, Nintendo Malaysia's website still lists the Switch 2 and the original April announcement, suggesting a Malaysian release is still planned. A similar situation occurred with the PlayStation 5's regional rollout.
